Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn has said he faces a “difficult
decision” over when to tell Formula one fossil Michael Schumacher that it’s
probably best that he goes to live in a formula one retirement home.

Having signed Lewis
Hamilton for next season Brawn has been left with the tough task of breaking
the bad news to Schumacher, 70, who is said to have become increasingly
confused in recent years.
“Michael doesn’t seem
to be able to remember even simply instructions such as ‘don’t crash’ anymore,
so trying to explain that its time he went to live in a home is going to be a
right pain in the ar*e,” Brawn told World of Sports.
But some senior
Mercedes figures believe time has run out as Schumacher has apparently noticed
a “dark chap” at work this week. Staff at the Brackley based team have been
forced to explain to the geriatric German that you can’t say that sort of thing
anymore.
Team boss Ross Braun also
confirmed that working with Schumacher had become at times ‘bizarre’ and ‘frustrating’.
He told World of Sports: “Michael had began to believe he was Michael Knight
from cult television show Knight Rider”

Schumacher was reportedly demanding that Brawn mimic the cars pompous English accent
during radio transmissions, something many in the F1 paddock believe would be
quite easy for the Mercedes boss.
